Why doesn't the DOJ Civil Rights Division defend the 2nd?

/——/ The wheels of justice turn slowly.
The "Wheels" of justice, are bought and paid for.

BS.

So.............WHO, outside of any US government agency or constitution gave you your rights?
/-----/ The Constitution and Bill of Rights don't grant us our freedom. It puts limits on the government's control over us. Something that irked Obama to no end.

Not an atheist.
I just don't believe in the evangelical version of God.

So, GAWD gave Americans "rights"?
Why didn't God give other countries rights?
